In general, you needn’t be found guilty to have your assets claimed by law enforcement; in some states, suspicion on a par with “probable cause” is sufficient. Nor must you be charged with a crime, or even be accused of one. Unlike criminal forfeiture, which requires that a person be convicted of an offense before his or her property is confiscated, civil forfeiture amounts to a lawsuit filed directly against a possession, regardless of its owner’s guilt or innocence.

Or unless you can't afford you taxes. Your house is only yours as long as you are able to pay your taxes. And unless they decide to take your property by eminent domain. I am sure there are other ways for them to take your property.
